Trade and Industrialisation Minister, Lucia Iipumbu, officiated the commencement of the construction of Onandjaba Village Council Open Market. 

The construction of the open market aims to foster inclusive economic growth and create opportunities for small and medium enterprises.

The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by constituency councillors, development heads and planners, small and medium enterprises, and the general public.

"The Ministry of Industrialisation and Trade is mandated to drive entrepreneurship and business development in the county; our commitment is geared towards reinforcing the importance of accelerating economic growth, reducing income inequality, and increasing employment. MIT has several programmes that are geared at removing supply-side constraints, increasing productive capacity, and increasing the competitiveness of Namibia's industry in the domestic, regional, and international markets. We hope that this open market will provide a platform where informal traders can grow and scale so that they can diversify their operations."
